Could anyone suggest a good, non-technical, high-level explanation of Bayesian probability?
To clarify, since some people suggested a thread with recommendations of textbooks, that isn't really what I'm after. I'm looking for something for a friend of mine whose interest is in intellectual history. He isn't trying to learn to do Bayesian analysis, he just wants to know what it does or claims to do.
You can check out these following videos, they are non-technical but give pretty good intuition.
One is "Bayes theorem, and making probability intuitive" by 3Blue1Brown, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZGCoVF3YvM
and other is "The Bayesian Trap" by Veritasium, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R13BD8qKeTg
